Problems with MMM-DWD-Pollen regions

Klinge

Hello,

I try to start the module MMM-DWD-Pollen. But unfortunately I have problems with the DWD regions. I am living in the region “Östl. Niedersachsen”. On the Github site this region is declared with the number “32”. And on the DWD Site it is declared with the number “5”. But both numbers are not working. And now I don´t know, which number I can use for my region.

It would be great, if someone could help me.

Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Klinge

Yes, I had the problem too.
Two mistakes I made:

the default value for the pollen might not be a default - so better include the line in your config
Did it for you already: I went to https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/health/alerts/s31fg.json and checked if your part region exists. It does, so this is fine.

Also one mistake many people make is not to fully install:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # adapt directory if you are using a different one
git clone https://github.com/carstendirks/MMM-DWD-Pollen.git
cd MMM-DWD-Pollen
npm install # this can take a while

The important part is the npm install which installs dependencies!

For support always post your config. Here is mine - you can try my config to see if the problem is caused by a wrong config:

			module: "MMM-DWD-Pollen",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Pollenwarnung",
			classes: 'scheduler',
			config: {
				// I use a schedule to only display it from spring to autumn! 
                                // module_schedule: {from: '00 8 1 3 *', to: '00 8 15 10 *' },
				updateInterval: 5 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every 5 hours
				DWD_region: 41, // Rhein-Westfälisches Tiefland
				icon: true, // Show icons or not
				pollenList: "Hasel,Erle,Esche,Birke,Graeser,Roggen,Beifuss,Ambrosia", // Which Pollen to display?
				showNullValue: false, //Show value or symbol if value is 0
			}
		},

You might want to set showNullValue to true and also check in the json-Link if there are readings available (which currently there are)
